Walking Dead and Gone

Here are some pics from yesterday. Our mission to find the pudding house was successful.

The house is actually in Senoia. Got another shot of Senoia from where the gate was in the show.

We tried to find the outside of the tunnel from the last episode but could only find lots of tracks. There was a conspicuous tree laying across the tracks where we thought the tunnel might be so we didn't go any further. The inside of the tunnel scenes were actually shot within the prison!

As we ventured toward Grantville, GA, thanks to Tim's expert navigational skills, we found what we are decently sure is the intersection where Daryl collapsed, that is thanks to the awesome web page walkingdeadlocations.com

Once in Grantville, most famous as the location for the filming of the Clear episode , we found the field where Morgan was burning zombies, the building he was holed up in, the baby stuff store, and the cafe where Carl and Michonne went to retrieve the last surviving picture of the Grimes family.

 There is a zombie store downstairs in this building and they give tours of Morgan's apartment upstairs.

 By the way, the cafe is actually an old train depot. They took away most of the set but the townspeople put up the cafe sign so folks will know what it is.

We're in Tallahassee now but we are going to try to get back to Senoia on the way to the airport on Sunday. Saturday is the grand opening for the museum downstairs from the gift shop, complete with zombies walking around town. The gift shop will have Daryl's motorcycle on display and two of the prison cells will be set up so hopefully we'll at least get to see those. 

On Sunday, Grantville will also have an event with vendors and tours. Penny and Judith will be there. 

Grantville will also pay host to Bill Paxton and Vince Vaughn as they use some of the shops there to film their new movie, Term Life. They'll use a second hand shop, where I bought a filming location map, and a pizza place that are actually just past the wall above. 

Hope you're enjoying the pics as much as I enjoyed taking them! Tim is giving me the pics that he took as well that I can post, guaranteed to be better than mine!

Couple pics that Tim took. This is the cemetery in Grantville that was used in the scene when Beth and Daryl came across the mortuary, though we were told that the mortuary was actually a mile from here. 

Walking Dead of the Night

A look at Senoia aka Woodbury at night. We saw a cool band called Next 2 the Tracks at Southern Ground. Folks here drive around in golf carts, pretty sweet! The Veranda Inn looks pretty at night with it's twinkling lights

Day 2 Roll Over and Play Walking Dead

Before we left Atlanta this morning we found Rick's house:

Morgan's house:

A little breakfast place down the street from Rick's house and across the street from Grant Park:

And last but certainly not least...TERMINUS! I am so creeped out because so much more will be happening here.

Pics of "Woodbury" tomorrow.

Day 1 Walking Dead Ringer

Not exactly, but close!

And I know all rooftops look alike but this looks like the one the group was on where Merle chopped his hand off. View from our room!

Walking Dead Ahead

Lets go to Atlanta before the wedding in Tallahassee! I told Tim that I was not excited about his idea, but whatever. I can't believe it took me a full day to realize...WALKING DEAD IS FILMED THERE!!!!! Things were definitely looking up. From there I found this awesome site: http://walkingdeadlocations.com/ which is a fan site that details the different filming locations for each episode. Within is a link to a google map that pinpoints each of the locations. And don't you know, there's an app for that! Now I have an app for that, which I shall subsequently use while on my whirlwind, one of a kind Walking Dead filming location vacation.

We'll begin in Atlanta looking for Rick's house, the hospital, and the CDC to start. We're only there for one night and will move down to Senoia AKA Woodbury, which is 40 minutes south of Atlanta. Most of the episodes that don't take place in the city are filmed around the Senoia area. I have read that you can't see the prison because it is within the film studio, also located in the area, and the farm is private property and not really viewable from the road. But there are so many other roads, buildings, and landmarks to take selfies in front of! We leave next week and and I'll be posting pics and comments during the four days we are there...before the wedding in Tallahassee.
